GARBAGE-HOLDING ATTACHMENT FOR slNKs.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 690,838, dated January 7, 1902.

Application nea my 24, 1901.

To all whom it may concern,.-V

Beit known that I, CHARILEY EUGENE COX, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have made certain new and useful Improvements -in Garbage-Holding Attachments for Sinks, of which the following is a specification. Y

My invention is an improvement upon that for which I have received Letters Patent No. 674,294, dated May 1 4, 1901. It includes several changes in the construction and arrange-Y ment of parts, ashereinafter described, and' shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical section of a sink and my improved attachment. Fig. 2 is a horizontal cross-s ection on line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the attachment.

A indicates an ordinary sink provided with a circular opening in the bottom. A metal cylinder B is'pendent from the sink A and secured thereto by screw-bolts, which pass through its projecting horizontal rim and the portion of the sink-bottom adjacent to the opening therein. A lateral enlargement B' is formed at the top of cylinderB to form a gutter, which extends around the cylinder and is inclined, as shown, to facilitate ilow of liquid to the point where it merges into a vertical passage B2. The latter is formed bya lateral and longitudinal enlargement of the cylinder B and extends from top to bottom of the latter.

An annular grating C is arranged over the gutter B and supported upon the iianged head of the cylinder B, asin my former invention.

This grating allows the passage of liquid, which ows from gutter B into the vertical passage B2, and thus into the trapped receptacle B3, providedat the bottom of cylinder B. As shown in Fig. 1, this portion of the cylinder is constructed with a lateral escapepipe D, whose inner side d projects down far enough to form a trap--that is to say, the side or lip d of said pipe projects considerablybelow the level to which the liquid must rise to escape through pipe D, and conse quently forms an effective seal for thelatter,

whereby gases or foul odors are prevented flowing back and entering the apartment in which the sink is located. The pipe D is shown.

cast integrally with the cylinder proper, B, as

. It will be noted the bottom of cylinder B converges to a lowest point, where a screwplug b is appliedto provide for removal of .precipitated solid matter, as occasion may require. l

v The upper edge of cylinderB diverges laterally and is formed with a continuous groove b to receive the pendent circular flange e of the iiat cover C. The said groove b is preferably made deep enough to hold a quantity the top, is formed a shoulder or rib b2, upon ,which the outwardly-projecting rim f 'of the metal basket F rests, as shown. The body' of the basket is slightly tapered and so supported in the cylinder Bas to permit it to be conveniently and quickly inserted and removed, as occasion requires.

As a means for handling the cover E, I provide it with a bail G, which is pivoted on the sides and below the top of same and is adapted to lie in the groove b' (see Fig. 3) whennot in use. It is shown standing vertical in Fig. l'.

The basket F is provided interiorly with a handle f', (see Fig. 1,) adapted totslide vertically, as in my former invention.

The perforated bottom b3 of the cylinder B is made removable .and is supported upon an inwardly-bent ange of the latter.

It will be seen that my sink attachment is not only trapped against gases or odors from the main or sewer, but that the cylinder B is also trapped at the top against gases and odors arising from the portion of liquid, dac., held in the bottom receptacle B8 and that the parts C, E, F, and b3 being easily removable the entire attachment maybe easily cleaned.

What I claim is- 1. The improved garbage sink attachment comprising the pendent cylinder having a lateral enlargement at the top provided with a circumferential iiange,jand a vertical extension constructed with a radial flange having a groove forming a gutter and arranged as described whereby it is adapted to support a grating and a cover substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination with a pendent cylinder having a lateral enlargement at the top forming a gutter, and a vertical extension constructed with a radial iange having an annular groove of the annular grating C Whose inner edge rests upon said flange and the detachable cover Whose iiange lits in the aforesaid groove and is supported therein as shown and. described.

3. The cylinder having a gutter surrounding the top portion, and. a vertical lateral swell or enlargement extending from said gutter to the bottom of the cylinder as shown and described.
